Create
a Photo Album with PowerPoint

Use this
PowerPoint wizard to create a photo album.

Microsoft has made it very easy to create a photo album
using PowerPoint, thanks to its release ofthe Photo Album Wizard add-in program. The Wizard isn't a standard
PowerPoint 2000 feature, but you can download it to your Desktop and double
click on it to get started.

3.Using the Picture Layout dropdown list, select how you'd
like your pictures to be displayed: in groups, with titles, and so forth.

4.Using the Frame Style dropdown list, select a frame style
such as oval or beveled.

5.Click File/Disk.

6.Open the folder in which your picture files are stored.

7.Choose the first picture you want in your photo album and
choose Insert. You can also import photos directly from a digital camera or
scanner. To do so, rather than clicking File/Disk you'd click on
Scanner/Camera, choose the appropriate device, and import the picture.

8.Continue to add pictures until you're finished.

9.Click on Create to finish the job.

10.Add sounds to your photo album's slides. Select Insert,
Movies, then Sounds. Choose among any sounds you have on your hard disk, those
in the Clip Art library, or those in an online repositorymaintained by Microsoft. You can't go back
into the PhotoAlbum Wizard after clicking on the Create button, but you can
modify your slide show as you would a normal PowerPoint presentation.

PowerPoint is arguably the industry standard for
creating presentations and slide

shows. Bundled with Microsoft Office, many of you may
already have this program either installed on your computer, or on disk. Not
only is PowerPoint a valuable business tool, it can also be used for
personal use in creating family photo slide shows.
